Okay today I went to the Modoc Railroad Academy. A lot of has been said on this topic & has been proven incorrect. In fact I was also able to meet someone from BNSF that was there interviewing the current students. They did say that the engineer program certifies for their railroad. Even is someone worked for UP for many years and then went to another railroad you would still have to go through their training. I talked to the current students. They were very informative. Also something I thought was pretty cool is they gave me contact info of previous students if I had any more questions. One thing I found out is that not everyone that has gone through the school, (they wouldn't give a name) but someone had lied on their application to BNSF regarding a felony and yes they were not able to help that student. They admitted that this school is not for everyone. Not everyone can cut it. If you're a railroader you understand that this is a career not just a job. I have decided to attend. Especially after speaking with BNSF. Thanks for all the advice.
